No Escape From the Ex-husband by Summer Winters
Chapter 16

Chapter 0016 

“Kenny’s in at the moment. I’ll swing by and spend some time with him shortly.” 

It was enough to make Samantha stiffen and remain rooted to her spot. She recognized this voice. 

In the eerie silence of the night, it was that gruesome scene that haunted her like a relentless nightmare. 

No woman on earth would ever be able to come to terms with being mutilated. Even though she regained her beauty through plastic surgery, she didn’t feel like the reflection she saw in the mirror was truly hers. 

Her eyes were covered by a piece of black fabric. It didn’t allow even the slightest sliver of light to penetrate. 

She could not trust a single person. She felt everyone looking at her with 

malicious smiles. 

The blades rolled over her face layer by layer, like the scales of a venomous snake. She let out a wail, but no one paid her any attention. Soon after, her face was reduced into a bloody mess, unrecognizable even to herself. 

A cold voice rhetorically asked, “Who do you think you are?” 

Samantha conceded. She had a point. She was Samantha Duncan, a young lady who was blessed in life. Yet, it was all because she had chosen to love the wrong person that she was placed on such a tragic path. 

Samantha screwed her eyes shut. She sank deep into the heavy, inescapable darkness. 

However, the woman’s voice continued, “Oh, Mom, why are you in such a hurry? Kenny is at the peak of his career right now–of course he’s not eager to discuss. marriage. Can you have more consideration for his career?” 

Through the mirror, Samantha sneaked a full view of the woman’s face. A layer of exquisite makeup caked her petite face. It was accentuated by curly locks that framed her face. She looked innocent and piteous. Those large, teary eyes that seemed eternally glossed over with a subtle sheen made her look especially so. 

This face was familiar to Samantha. The woman soon stepped up beside her to wash her hands. Samantha quickly averted her gaze. 

The person on the other end of the call couldn’t have sounded more pressing. Linda, you’re almost 25 now, and Kenny’s pushing 30. He got married once when

charming little vixens throw themselves at him?” 

Samantha caught a glimpse of a twisted and rigid expression that only lasted for a split second. It was brief, as Linda swiftly spoke in a light–hearted tone. 

“But Kenny’s heart is mine! No one will be able to steal him from me. That marriage from seven years ago was a mistake anyway. It’s not too late to fix it now.” 

“Not too late? Linda, I’m not trying to criticize you, but if you like Kenny, you should seal the deal as soon as possible! Not only is he an outstanding man, but he’s also your father’s student. We know him well. Why else do you think I’m so confident about him?” 

“I know, Mom. But I still want to spend a few more years exploring before tying the knot! Urgh, I’m done talking to you. Kenny’s here! I’m hanging up now.” 

With that, she hung up the phone. Her delicate face held a touch of tension that distorted her features a little. 

Linda looked like she was about to say something. But she ultimately said nothing when she noticed Samantha washing her hands for the last three minutes or so. She bit her l*p and stomped out of the washroom. 

Samantha turned off the tap and trailed behind her. 

It seemed as though Kendrick’s good fortune in love remained the same over the years. It was only a few minutes ago when she was almost moved by his affectionate performance. 

Learning to love isn’t as simple as experiencing a single episode of loss. Just like how a warm winter day could still freeze your toes off, the gloom of snow would still hang overhead. 

Her goal was revenge. 

Whether he loved her or not no longer mattered, as long as he paid the price he deserved.
